Learning outcomes
|
The seminar will introduce students to the developmental assumptions of the so-called second theatrical reform (Off-off-Broadway Theatre) and its manifestations in the forms of action art happening, performance art and body art. After successful completion of the course, participants should be able to distinguish its individual forms in the form of happening, performance art, body art in the range of action art and to name the formal similarities/connections with the so-called second theatrical reform. The historiographical approach will be combined with the offer of methodological approaches (structuralist, phenomenological, psychoanalytical, cognitive) to the analysis and interpretation of various forms of action art, using visual, textual and audiovisual documentation.
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to: identify and summarize the important features of individual manifestations of action art, identify and describe contemporary domestic and international characteristics of performance art and happening, understand and explain the aesthetics of performativity, perceive theatrical performance as action, apply structuralist, phenomenological and performative methodologies to performance/performance art piece, analyze a performance/performance art piece.

Assessment methods and criteria
|
Mark, Oral exam, Student performance
An oral final exam is required for successful completion of the course. The lecturer will give learners a choice of 10 topics at the end of the semester. They will be tested on their chosen topic during the oral examination. Knowledge of a heading at the level of the knowledge presented in the lectures is equivalent to a grade of A. The examination is mainly about testing contextual knowledge, i.e. concepts (in this case performativity) are important, and practical examples of its application.
